To connect pipeline elements that have internal threads and different diameters, a special type of fitting is used - a transition nipple. Such products are made, as a rule, of brass and represent a cylinder with external threads cut at both ends.
Such a fitting can be used for both permanent and temporary connection of pipes and parts in case of need for their frequent assembly / disassembly. Depending on the diameter of both ends, a straight line is distinguished (the same diameter along the entire length of the product) and a brass transition nipple (the diameter at both ends is different). Due to this feature, this type of fitting has a fairly wide field of application, which we will discuss in more detail in the next block of our material.
Brass nipple: scope
Brass nipples are designed for connecting various types of pipelines, connecting plumbing fixtures and various devices to the pipeline system. So,
threaded adapter nipples can be installed on the following types of pipelines:
- compressed air;
- water heating;
- hot and cold water supply;
- pipelines that are designed to transport other non-aggressive liquids and gases, the temperature of which does not exceed 120 degrees Celsius.
We also note that the double nipple can be operated exclusively in systems whose nominal pressure does not exceed 1 MPa.
Advantages of the Reducing Brass Nipple
The brass adapter nipple has a number of advantages over similar fitting made of other materials, namely:
- good resistance to shock loads and temperature extremes;
- ensuring a reliable connection of process pipelines, water supply pipes and heating systems;
- hygienic and operational safety;
- ensuring a high tightness rate.
Also note that during installation
threaded adapter nipple it is allowed to use various auxiliary materials, such as: a sealant, tape or fum tape, which ensure a greater tightness of the connection and minimize the risk of leakage.
